KooTENAI COUNTY. M
The Majority Of Its People Favor An

RATHDRUM, Idaho, Nov. q, 1887.
EDITOR Sun Il trust you will give
me little space in the Sun to give you
an idea Of the annexation feeling in this
county, as | see that the SIM is about
the only true friend the people have in
the pan handle, | am an old Idaho
miner and feel an interest in the terri
tory, but more particularly in the pan
handle lorion of it. / have noticed
that the Sun is strongly 10 favor of
annexation to Washington Territory, and
admire the energy with which you
advocate the cause. If we only had
such paper in our (KootenaD county,
it would meet with hearty aud substan-
tial support. We have only a weekly
paper in this county, althou4h its tax
able wealth is greater than that of
Shoshone county, and it is very weakly
indeed. 1t is published by Mark W.
Musgrove, and the fellow has about, as
much aptitude for the newspaper bust
ness as he has tor the law. his paper OF
six columns on sheet, being patent out
side, and the inside is worse than the
outside. However, Musgrovc and his
"thing' are violeatly opposed to annex
alton, although little over year ago
they advocated the measure with might
and main-that is, the might and main
such man and such newspaper are
capab!y Of While we do not feel
alarmed at any damage the twain may
do towards converting those who know
them-the man and the papeI-we can
not lose sight of the fact that this
county is being rapidly settled up by
strangers who do not know the remark
able pair. Hence some may, for the
time being be led astray by false repre-
sensations, and in this Musgrove shows
some cunning, but no ability, for any
thoughtful reader would throw his patent
sheet aside with disgust. The majority
of the people Of Kootenai county are in
favor of annexation, because they are not
blind to their domestic and commercial,
as well as political welfare. yet Mus,
grove, having the only paper in the
county, turns his back on the majority
OF the people and endeavors to injure all
their material interests. Although the
friends of annexation are indignant, for
the present they cannot help themselves,
but they are biding their time and before
many months roll round Koetenai
county will have another newspaper.

The Boise Statesman takes the Coeu,

does net exceed $4,000, and asserts tha,

We do not see that he is not in as good
position to know as is Governor Steven
son, or tho editor of the Statesman.
He has the published report Of the
counties, and published reports Of the
county, the same as the governor or the
Statesman. Neither the Statesman
nor the governor have ever taken the
census nor caused it to be taken, nor
have they ever travelled over the county

reason why Albach should not know as

himself for sale they have the money to

"The millions of acres Of desert land in
Idaho can only be made productive by a
system of irrigation" and then further
on in the report he says "There is no
safer investment than in irrisatiny
canals" We would suppose that CAPT
tai invested in land that required no
artificial irrigation would be safer and
more profitable. In North Idaho we
have no need Of artificial irrig ton.

FRIED HASH.
WATERING PLANTS.

A lady writes TO say that she cannot
imagine what the trouble is with hv-
drangea in her collection. 1t grows in
an eight-inch pot as do some geraniums.
She waters it as often as she does her
geraniums, but it willis nearly every day,
while her geraniums never do, and she is
afraid that there is something the matter
with it. Very likely there is. The troub-
lie is that it does not get as much water
AS it ought to have. | venture the pre-
diction that if she will turn the plant out
of its pot she will find that the soil is fill
ed so full of roots that it is a perfect
mass of them: if she will do the same
with her geranums, she will probably find
that there are not one-half as many roots.
Now the explanation of the fact that the
hydrangea requires more water to prevent
its whiting is just here; every root is a
mouth to drink up water. and there are
so many of these mouths that what
would be sufficient for the geraniums
with their fewer roots goes but little
ways in supplying the wants of this
plant. have had heliotropes which re-
quired a liberal application of water
daily, because the soil was filled with
roots to such an extent that an ordinary
amount merely sufficed to wet the up
per portion. They drank it up before it
could penetrate to the lower strata, and
the consequence was that the roots in the
lower portion of the pot suffered for lack
of moisture. and the plants were not as
healthy as they ought to have been. The
only way in which could give them a:
much water as they required every day
was to put the pots in tub and let then
soak in all the water they could, and thi:
had to be done daily, understand. If
skipped day the plants would reproacl
me for it by displaying dropping branch
es and limp leaves. Now if | had treated
plants with fewer roots in this way i
!. would have killed them. The more root
| plant has the more water must be givel
J it. Remember that, and, when a plrn
! willis after it has had what you consider
liberal application of water, examine,
it, and, if you find that the soil is full o
! roots, give it larger pot to grow in.

A great French dressmaker told
charming story the other day while con-
versing with reporter. She received
one day carte blanche for a costume from
a lady of high distinction and immense
wealth. II was ball dress, and the
only conditions imposed were that it
should be suggestive of youth and spring.
The dressmaker racked her brains, but
the longed for inspiration would not
come. Time was short, the fair client
much too rich to disappoint, and the idea
positively refused to present itself. All
night long the dressmaker wrestled with
her wits, but they got the better of her,
and at last, weary and irritable, she aban-
doned the struggle for the time, and
threw open the window to watch the
coming daybreak. She leaned out mood
lily watching the ever changing grays and
greens, and rosy fiushes in the east, until
by and by the sun rose in all it's splendor,
and with it came the vainly sought idea.
The soft gray and faint pink tiushes, the
delicate primrose and sudden burst of
rosy red were an inspiration, and when
the dress was sent home, christened
dawn in June, it was declared veri-
table masterwork. Chicago Times.
